The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)

Linus’ speech about the true meaning of Christmas is the highlight of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Retrieved from The Bible, King James Version, Book 42 Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8 to 14.

Retrieved from A Charlie Brown Christmas:

“I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn’t have picked this
little tree,” said Charlie Brown. “Everything I do turns into
a disaster. I guess I don’t really know what Christmas is
all about. Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas
is all about?”

“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about,”
said Linus. [Linus walks to center stage.]

“Lights, please.”

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

–Book 42, Luke (002:08-14)
The Bible, King James Version

[Linus picks up his blanket and shuffles off-stage.]

Silent Night
Song by Mariah Carey

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Son of God (oh), love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus (Jesus) Lord (Jesus Lord at thy) at thy birth (thy birth)
Oh, Jesus Lord at thy birth
Sleep
Sleep (sleep)
Sleep in (heavenly, heavenly) heavenly peace
Sleep (sleep)
(Sleep) sleep
Sleep in heavenly, heavenly, heavenly peace
Peace
Peace
Sleep (heavenly peace)
Oh, sleep in heavenly peace

Enjoy the Season. 🎈😎

Enjoy the ride. 🎈💕

I am taking the train to drop off some goodies to the Rehab. May you and your family enjoy Christmas Eve and Day. You have been a sparkle on this thread and wish you the best. I will be thinking of you during the midnight mass. Yes, I have been to one and the service was amazing and the decorations were enough to take one’s breath away. I wish that everyone will enjoy this season and embrace all that you have today and going forward. The song, “Little Things Mean A Lot,” rings true. Merry Christmas to all.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening Oodie what a nice post. 🎈💕😎Oodie these images and thoughts all
come at the touch of my fingers and in my head also what I’ve done in the real world. 💕

This is the reason I made and created this thread people encouraged me to keep doing
it and I did. All this just comes natural to me and very easy.

Oodie have a great evening. 😘

Little Things Mean a Lot
Song by Kitty Kallen

Blow me a kiss from across the room
Say I look nice when I’m not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you’re far away
Little things mean a lot
Don’t have to buy me diamonds and pearls
Champagne, sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
‘Cause honestly honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I’ve lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven’t forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm when I’ve lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray, give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven’t forgot
That always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Song by Andy Williams

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time
Yes, the most wonderful time
Oh, the most wonderful time
Of the year

Happy Holidays. 😎🎈

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas Eve on December 24 kicks off a series of holiday traditions. Some are ancient practices with a modern spin, while others date back hundreds of years.

Christmas Eve is filled with both religious and non-religious traditions. Religious traditions center around the birth of Jesus. Different denominations have their own traditions. On Christmas Eve Roman Catholics and Anglicans hold Midnight Mass. Lutherans celebrate with candlelight services and Christmas carols. Many evangelical churches hold evening services where families celebrate Holy Communion.

Around the world, Christmas Eve is celebrated with a variety of foods. In Italy, they celebrate the Feast of Seven Fishes. Russians traditionally serve a 12-dish Christmas Eve Supper before opening gifts. Meanwhile, in Bulgaria, the Christmas Eve meal consists of an odd number of meatless dishes.

Besides food and religious services, the holiday is when Santa Claus takes to the sky in his sleigh to deliver Christmas gifts around the world. Other names for the white-bearded man in a red suit include Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and Saint Nicholas. No matter what he is called, the legend of Santa is based on a real-life man named Saint Nicholas of Myra. The early Christian bishop was known for secret gift-giving, as well as many miracles. Through the years, the legend of Santa grew to include the North Pole, a sleigh driven by reindeer, a naughty or nice list, and his jolly laugh, “ho, ho, ho.”

NATIONAL EGGNOG DAY

National Eggnog Day raises a holiday toast once a year on the day before Christmas. Also known as egg milk punch, eggnog is a popular drink throughout the United States during the holidays.

Good Morning Peeps and Merry Christmas may this Season be joyful. 🎈😎

Antthony Mark Hankins is an American fashion designer, brand creator, and on-air style icon whose work has helped define modern live-retail fashion for more than three decades. With a 31-year television legacy, Antthony became a household name through his long-running presence on HSN, where his collections reached over 51 million households and built one of the most loyal, engaged followings in the business.
Classically trained, Antthony studied fashion design at the Pratt Institute of Design in New York City and at the prestigious École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in Paris, France. He refined his craft through work with iconic design houses including Yves Saint Laurent, Willi Smith, and Adrienne Vittadini—experiences that shaped his signature blend of couture influence and American wearability.
In the early 1990s, Antthony launched his own design studio, Antthony Design Originals, establishing a distinct point of view rooted in glamour, confidence, and impeccable detail. His signature social dresses and elevated separates—crafted in the United States and often featuring European fabrics—became known for sculpted silhouettes, rich embellishment, and an unforgettable sense of occasion.
Antthony’s designs are inspired by the timeless elegance of the 1950s cocktail era, reimagined for the modern woman: sophisticated socialites, busy professionals, and style lovers who want to enter a room with presence. More than clothing, his work is an experience—and his brand is built on something rare: a deep, personal connection with the audience he has served for decades.
After an extraordinary chapter in television retail, Antthony is now focused on the next era of his brand—developing future collections released directly to his clients and followers, with elevated design, limited releases, and renewed creative freedom that reflects his legacy while moving boldly forward.

We will all miss you. Good Luck on your new ventures. 🎈

@sheba2011

Impeccable taste, lovely fashions, what more can I say. Yes, I have many Antthony’s originals. Each piece signifying who he is. The brand outstanding. I, will certainly miss him on HSN. I wish him well in his new adventure.

’ll be home for Christmas…
where the Love light gleams…❤️
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me….
please have snow and mistletoe…
and presents on the tree…”
Something about a cozy red barn in the snow that makes me nostalgic for an old fashioned holiday this year.

NATIONAL PFEFFERNUSSE DAY

December 23rd is reserved for National Pfeffernuse Day, a German spice cookie. Very popular around the holidays, pfeffernüsse are fluffy cookies made with ground nuts and spices and covered in powdered sugar.

Over time, many bakers have created their own pfeffernüsse recipes. Traditional methods included various nuts such as almonds and walnuts. Some modern recipes exclude nuts altogether along with the black pepper, retaining only cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and cardamom as flavorings. Bakers also use molasses and honey to sweeten the cookie

FESTIVUS

Each year on December 23rd, Festivus commemorates a holiday episode of the television comedy, Seinfeld. In 1997, the popular television comedy brought Festivus to the masses when Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) explains he invented the holiday in response to the commercialism of Christmas. Its slogan is “A Festivus for the rest of us.”

NATIONAL ROOTS DAY

National Roots Day on December 23rd encourages families to delve into their family history, heritage, and ancestry.

@sheba2011

Great statement. So true.

Emotion in Motion – Where strength flows through grace

Life is a dance between courage and beauty; it finds meaning only when you dare to move, even as the world watches in silence.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 💕🎈😎

Wishing all a wonderful Holiday Season.

Beneath the arc of a dress that breathes like the universe itself, the human soul learns a quiet truth: beauty is not born from stillness, but from the courage to move with the flow of life, and those who dance with both burden and light discover that destiny is not a cage, but wings unfolding when the soul surrenders… yet continues to walk..

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida and may this day find you and hubby doing well. 🎈😎

@xango

I do not know where you are. I realize that things may not be as good as you would like it to be. I am hoping you are still in Florida and able to enjoy this holiday season. I miss your videos and the special menus you created tp share with friends and neighbors. I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and hope and pray that you say hello soon. May you enjoy Christmas Eve and Day and may it bring you joy in all that you do. Take care you two and enjoy the season.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I hope the Staff at the Rebab enjoyed
your sweet gifts you brought them. 🎈💕

I have been super busy this week just doing things that needs to be done. 😎

I hope the Reno is turning out fine and they will be finish soon. 💕🎈

Oodie take it easy moving things. Oz is great at 58 degrees but ole man winter will be
back. 😎

Oodie, Happy New Year! Hope its the year your husband gets home. 🍾

@sheba2011

I am waiting on a second delivery from Sam’s. The first one went to the wrong house. The owner never showed yesterday to discuss the vanity and the other items. I kept checking with the receptionist…..nothing.

The people at the Rehab seldom get a thank you or even a gift of sorts. I bring surprises whenever I see a thing or two in my travels that they may like. They’re smiles is all the thank you I need. Today, though, is a different story. I will not be seeing hubs until I receive the delivery which is not expected until early evening. Instead, I will be doing this and that No problem.

Our contractor will be home sometime after the first of the year. I will be sending him an email on my concerns with the furnace. At least he will know if it’s in running order. I have a feeling
that I might just be jumping the whatever. He will also be replacing one of our windows and the gutters. At least he will know if everything is OK and will contact those he needs to. All I can say is if the house is warm, the oil is getting through. Hubs did not want me venturing out to the house without someone with me.. That is, without our contractor. The only thing I know is how to set the thermostat (LOL).

@oodiebom,

Good Evening that was so sweet to do that for the Staff. 💕😎

Things seems to be coming along and I hope it keeps moving forward so
hubby can get home.

Oz is foggy and very nice for the season.

I hope the contractor reach out to you and soon.

Oodie here is to a peaceful and restful night. 💕🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈Taci are you and your family safe from flooding
waters in the area? So much is on the Telly I am trying to keep up with info.

My niece that lives there is in Colorado. My other niece is in Dublin, Ireland. 🎈😎

I have a lot going on but I will wish you a great season with your family.

I can read between the lines and you are a wee bit quiet and that’s alright. 💕

Hey Happy and safe trails. 😎🎈😘

@taci

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Safe travels if you are up and about. I did see the forecast for California and pray that you and everyone else will be OK. .When I was up North we always wished for a white Christmas not realizing what it would be like traveling in that nasty weather. Please , may you and your family remain safe. Take care and do not rush to go anywhere. I hope you all have a great Christmas eve and day.

Sheba, hello! Been doing a lot as well. They say we will have a lot of rain in time for Christmas but so far just mild rain today. It’s wet out but I’m home for the rest of the day. Your family travels a lot and feel free to tell me all about their travels. 🙂 Hopefully you will get to see everyone soon. We might get to Ireland one of these days. Let me know how your niece liked it.
My son wants to go back to Spain for his vacation next month or so.
Hope your SIL in GA is doing well.
Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year!🎄

@taci,

Good Evening the family is doing well and SIL and family are on vacation in Florida. 🎈😎
We have been Facetiming since Monday. 💕

My neighbor whose backyard fence lines with mine and Poppy girlfriend family

they loved the most. 😎This will be for their large family to visit anytime.

Just waved goodbye this morning to my neighbor on her way to Canada in British Columbia.
Everyone I know travels. 💕

I miss traveling like I use to but that will change one day.

Taci enjoy your evening and glad the weather is not as bad as they are saying in the Media.

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to busy you. I read the big news for your area about the Chiefs in a couple years. That should be exciting for the state, especially KC residents. Something to look forward to.😊

I just got a delivery yesterday and, yes, it was quick. Something for me so if it was late I wasn’t worried. Early dinner and mass with mom and sis tomorrow. Hopefully I will be home on Christmas day.🎅🎄 More lunches and dinners Friday and Saturday.

I hope you’re ready to slow down and enjoy. I bet Poppy is sniffing for his gift.🐕 Love and hugs.🤗💖

@shoelady60

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. May the star shine for you tonight and all other nights. Enjoy your dinner with mom and sis and the midnight mass. This is the most beautiful time of year. Why it cannot be all year round year after year is beyond me. Have a wonderful evening and a great tomorrow. Wish your mom well from me and I hope she will be able to use that hand during dinner and beyond. She has come a long way in just a few months.
Amazing

@shoelady60,

Good evening I know I am a bit late. 😎🎈I hope you have a wonderful Mass and I looking
forward to our Mass. 💕

Oz weather is a bit warm but ole man winter is coming right back.

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten and happy holidays. 😎🎈💕

Flowers
Song by Miley Cyrus

We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right ’til we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
Ooh, I didn’t wanna leave you, baby, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I- (ooh, I)
I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (uh-huh)
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (you never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (oh, oh)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (than you can)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I-

Silence has a voice..
When someone tells you that they want to be alone, honor this.
Don’t take it as an affront on you (that is ego) –
They need space to reconcile, to grieve, to unfold some personal pain.
Our only job is to support and respect that space.
Forcing the situation is dangerous.
They will come to you when (and if) they are ready.
If not, loving them from an arms distance is all we can do.
-debbie lynn
The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.

-Jiddu Krishnamurti

The world can be noisy. Circumstances get heavy, opinions get loud,
and sometimes it feels like shadows are trying to creep in from every direction.💖
​But there is a fundamental truth you need to hold onto today:
🕯​”Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.”🕯
​That resilience? That kindness? That fire in your soul that keeps you going?
It is yours. It is internal. And it is completely off-limits to outside forces.
They might temporarily block the sun, but they cannot touch your inner flame.
​Keep shining, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. 🔥💛

@xango,

Good Evening wishing you and hubs a very nice Christmas Week. Blessings to all in

NATIONAL DATE NUT BREAD DAY

National Date Nut Bread Day on December 22nd delivers a baker’s delight to celebrate. Incidentally, some sources also suggest the day is celebrated on September 8th, too.

FOREFATHERS’ DAY

Each year, Forefathers’ Day commemorates the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on December 21, 1620. The Old Colony Club of Plymouth, Massachusetts, introduced the observance in 1769. The town observes the holiday on December 22nd (unless on Sunday, then on the following Monday).

😎

Peace Out Peeps and Happy Holidays stay safe and enjoy the Season. 😎🎈

Having fun on this long night. 😎

Share the joy. 💕😎

Walk gently like the thread of life…for true strength is not found in rigidity, but in the grace to dance between burden and beauty.

Beauty is not born from perfect movement, but from the courage of a soul willing to unfold its wings in the midst of silence. Like a dance blossoming from a thousand petals, a human being discovers meaning when they choose to become part of the harmony of the universe….gentle in surrender, yet unwavering in direction.

Goodbye fall, hello winter. Have a beautiful new season!😊❤❄️

Celebrate the Longest Night of the Year! 🌌
On this day, the Sun reaches its lowest point in the sky for the Northern Hemisphere, marking the Winter Solstice—the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the Summer Solstice, bringing the longest day and shortest night of the year.
🌌 Whether you’re embracing the long, quiet night or enjoying extended daylight, this moment marks a powerful turning point in Earth’s annual journey around the Sun—when the light begins its slow return.

The roots teach us loyalty to our origin, the trunk teaches steadfastness in the journey, and the leaves teach the beauty of letting go….for life grows not by holding on, but by giving.

WINTER SOLSTICE

The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs annually between December 20th and December 23rd.

HUMBUG DAY

Humbug Day on December 21st recognizes the Ebenezers, the Scrooges, grinches, and curmudgeons who the joy out of the holiday season.

Sometimes, even the most joyous of us all get bitten by the hum-bug. Regardless, it’s essential to do our best to remember all those who suffer from it the most. Spread some joy their way and bring the holiday spirit into their lives. However, the day was created to express our frustrations, to let the Scrooge in all of us out, and let him reveal himself. Whether we declare it through a humbug or two or just avoid the people-y places, the day gives us a break from the hustle and bustle of activity that comes with the season.

It’s a stressful time of year for many reasons. Some of us may be lonely, and others may feel pressure to do more than is humanly possible. We may also set our own expectations quite high, too. As a result, the stresses of the holiday season pile up, leaving us feeling a bit like Scrooge.

NATIONAL FRENCH FRIED SHRIMP DAY

On December 21st, seafood lovers celebrate National French Fried Shrimp Day. Enjoyed all year long, this delicious dish delights many across the country.

PHILEAS FOGG WIN A WAGER DAY
Phileas Fogg Win a Wager Day on December 21st commemorates a date in fictional history. In the classic novel, Around the World in 80 Days by French Novelist, Jules Verne, December 21st is the date illustrious main character Phileas Fogg must complete his challenge to win a wager of £20,000.

NATIONAL MAINE DAY

On December 21st, National Maine Day recognizes the 23rd state to join the union and the most eastern one, too!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE DAY

Crossword Puzzle Day on December 21st commemorates the birth of a challenging word game enjoyed by millions worldwide.

ANNE AND SAMANTHA DAY

Celebrated bi-annually on the summer solstice and the winter solstice, Anne and Samantha Day honors two young women, Anne Frank and Samantha Smith, and the impact they had on the world.

YULE

On the arrival of the Winter Solstice, we observe Yule.

Also known as Jul, Yule predates the Christmas holiday by thousands of years. Linguists debate the origin of the word Yule. Some suggest the word is derived from “Iul,” the Anglo-Saxon word for wheel. This makes a connection to a Celtic calendar, the Wheel of the Year. However, in the Norse culture, “Jul” refers to the god, Odin. Odin was celebrated during Yule as well.

Yule celebrations included bonfires, decorating with holly, mistletoe, and the boughs of evergreen trees, ritual sacrifices, feasts, and gift-giving.

NATIONAL HOMELESS PERSONS’ REMEMBRANCE DAY

National Homeless Persons’ Remembrance Day on the first day of winter remembers those in the homeless community who have died the previous year. The day reminds us to honor them and remember the life they lived.

Good day in Florida and again Happy and safe Holidays. 😎🎈

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎💕Enjoy this day and special season.

Busy week for you so I am hoping all goes well.

Oz is nice today we have the Sun. 💕😎🎈

Here is to a nice Sunday.

@sheba2011

Sorry to hear that the Chiefs loss. I know it’s only a game, but geez. Also heard there was another injury. I just hope everyone can return home for the Holidays.

I have been online most of the day looking for ways to return to our other home.. The one good thing is that I can leave from the airport that is only a few miles from our home. However, with a two or more layover in Maryland, may not be doable. Also, the cost during the holidays. Not sure yet if I will bite the bullet and leave tomorrow evening which would give me time to see hubs. The other side is on top of the plane fare I will need to rent a vehicle. This is all because of the oil tank. Everything points to it being full. But the question now is, is the oil going into the pipes. The temps during the day have been in the 40s. Night lows are between 30 and 35. Snow and ice may be a concern later in the week. So many ifs.

I also have a meeting tomorrow with the owner from the Remodel company. I have a few things to hand out at the Rehab for Christmas. I have no idea what time we will meet. This is to go over the vanity and other items to finish off the bathroom. Still loving the shower area. I will try to take a few pictures before I head to the Rehab.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening my goodness you have a plate full. I hope you can see your other
two homes. I would have been there by now. I would first make sure hubs is in
good hands and well taken care of. 😎💕

i would rent a car this would work out well.

Oodie good luck and I hope you are having a nice evening. 😎

Rest well tonight as tomorrow is another busy one. 🎈

@taci,

Good day in S. California tis the season. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Oz is very nice today with the Sun. 😎🎈

I am doing this and that still much to do to get it my way. LOL!

Hey kick back and enjoy the day. 💕😘

Sending Merry Christmas Hugs to you and Jake. 😘💕😎

@sheba2011

Got some grocery shopping done early this morning.🛒 Don’t want to be near a store during the week.

Hockey team going down with the Chiefs, they are looking so bad. I don’t know if they’ll win another game this year.☹️

Hope you’re feeling fine, take it slow this evening and watch The Sound of Music, one of my favorite movies.🎶 I’ll be singing all night, LOL!

Christmas hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening that is exactly what I did watch the Sound of Music. i also own it
on three different editions including Blu Ray. 😎💕🎈

All the songs are classics and I can sing them to perfection. 😎💕🎈

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens🎶
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad🎶

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and Merry Christmas Week. 💕😎🎈

Careless Whisper
Song by George Michael

Oh, whoa, whoa, oh
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth, pain is all you’ll find
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend (shoulda known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Never without your love
Tonight, the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who’s gonna dance with me?
Please, stay
And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you, oh
Now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone)
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

Wham! Lyrics

“Freedom”

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you’re no good for me
“Saw your lover with another, and she’s making a fool of you.”

If you loved me baby, you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby and I don’t understand

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys

You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you: someday, baby
Someone says the same to you

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

Oh oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Do do do do do
Can’t you see you’re hurting me?
Do do do do do

You’re hurting me, baby
Hurting me, baby

Oh oh

Do do doo doo

You’re hurting me baby
Hurting me baby

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t need to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down

I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your

Enjoy the Season. 💕❤️🎈

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening and the Season. 💕😎

@xango,

Season’s Greetings to you and hubby. 🎈😎💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕😎🎈I took your advice and my arm feel so
much better. 🎈😎I am multi-tasking today.

Hubby went to pick up some Greek Food as we are doing small projects here and there.

I am happy to be able to do things. Our weather is alright in the low 50’s which is good
for the animals. 💕

I hope you are feeling better I am sure the Reno is an interesting project. 💕😎🎈
I can’t wait for it to be finished. I hope you will be pleased.

@sheba2011

Heidi is scheduled to be on Air the 7th and 8th of January. Received an email from the owner on our bathroom and he wants to meet with me on Monday. I am hoping to be out the door before 10 am to start delivering our goodies to our physician and to the Rehab. I signed up for the dinner which is a lunch thing for Thursday. I am hoping that hubby will be able to play the piano. His fingers have been freezing in place and hurting. Mine do the same thing and I attributed it to the freezing temps with the A/C. I noticed there are two vents in the ceiling in hubs room. One is above his head and the other is near the door.

Your daytime temps will be ours overnight. We will see 70s during the day all week. We definitely could use some raindrops even though this is our dry period.

Guess my idea worked on your shoulder. The pain is excruciating and the best thing to do is to give in and grab a book with hot tea, soup or whatever and find the quiet place where you can pick your feet up and just take it easy. Sometimes a heating pad helps or a warm shower. The Greek dinner sounds super good. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Hey, tonight is the longest one, tomorrow we start getting more daylight. I think around the middle of January we will see more sun and the sunset will be around 6:30 pm or later. Hopefully, the reno will be done by then.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening I most certainly did take all your advice last night who knew a couple
of vaccines could swell and hurt like that. The hot shower helped now I am back to
basics putting the finishes and touches to my Holiday Decorations. 😎💕🎈

I hope the Staff at the Rehab Center appreciate your sweet gifts. 💕
I think it would be wonderful for your husband to play the Piano. I think that
would set the Holiday mood and people would actually appreciate it. ❤️

I hope it happens. Oodie keep warm Oz is in the 30’s and we have one fireplace
on and the heat. I have fed all the outdoor animals. I have some places for them
to keep warm we have straw in certain place for them. I keep a watch in my security
camera we have a set up in the backyard. I just want them safe and warm. 💕😘

I will be watching the Winter Solstice yeah long night indeed. Our sky’s are clear tonight.

Don’t sleep on the night of December 21-22.
It’s the Winter Solstice—the longest night of the year—when the Northern Hemisphere tilts farthest away from the Sun. Darkness lasts longer than any other night, making it a powerful moment in Earth’s yearly journey around our star.
But this year, the sky has something extra planned.
December 21 also aligns with the peak of the Ursid Meteor Shower, one of the quieter yet graceful meteor displays of the year. With shooting stars radiating from near the Little Dipper, the Ursids are best seen under dark skies—and the solstice delivers exactly that.
Even better, the Moon stays out of the way, leaving the night sky at its darkest. No glare. No interference. Just long hours of silence, stars, and the occasional streak of light breaking through the darkness.
A longer night. A darker sky. And a reminder to look up.
Don’t sleep on it. ✨

Oodie get cozy and have a good evening. I am excited about your reno and I will be happy
when this is one and done. I know your husband can’t wait. 💕😘

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this day and season find you and your family
doing well. 🎈😎Our Heidi Daus is in Paris. 😎🎈💕

Enjoy the trails stay safe and have fun.

Sheba, Hello. Hope your having a great weekend.
It’s great for Heidi Daus traveling so much. She seems to enjoy it.
Much easier when your already on the East Coast…. well, that’s what I hear anyways 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 💕🎈😎I think I am snapping out of it. The pain was bad
in my arm after the vaccines I am better now.

I mixed up the days you were visiting your mom. I know your hair cut looks great.😎💕

I am catching up on things today so hubby went to grab some good Greek Food. 😎🎈
Today all Holiday Decorations will be finished. 💕

Oz temps are not bad we are in the lower 50’s. 😎That’s a heatwave.

Sending joy and love to you and Jake. 😎🎈💕

@sheba2011

I understand the pain in the arm. I’ve had it where I had trouble brushing my teeth and combing my hair.😩 Last couple haven’t been too bad.

Stayed in today doing small chores. Had a long phone call from a friend, you know how I love those. Hubs ran out to get Chinese for dinner.🥡🥢 Hard to believe tomorrow is the first day of winter – I think our winter started a few weeks ago.❄️🥶

Have a nice evening, hot chocolate sounds good for later.☕ Sending Christmas hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening hey the arm is back to normal after the vaccine shots. I took everyone
advice and I did not move my arm. 🎈💕😎

To prove it I put about 100 keepsake ornaments on my tree it is so beautiful. 😎💕
I have some that are just beautiful including Waterford Crystal I love those the
most. 💕I have not brought one thing to decorate with for the holidays. I put my
things up real good with my husband’s help and every year they look different.

I already did my Nativity Scene hubby put some lights around it to give it that night look. 💕

I am going to jump into the shower with Perlier and relax the rest of the rest of the night.
The Hot Chocolate was a great idea thank you. 💕💕😎

No worries about your Hockey Team they can still catch up. 😎🎈My team is done for
the season but we will watch it. 💕🎈 Enjoy your evening.

@shoelady60,

Oops here is the hot chocolate something happened when I posted.

This system is getting wonky. 😎

Good Night.

Enjoy this special time. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎I did read your post from last night.
I had an early morning appt. this was with my Primary Care and had a couple of
vaccines my arm is hurting. This will last a for a couple of days so I am taking my
time on everything. I think now all my December appt. are done. 😎🎈💕

The bathroom sounds interesting and I love how you can get a peep with AI. 😎

Enjoy this beautiful evening glad to hear hubby is eating good food. 💕🎈

@sheba2011

I finally received the e-mail from our neighbor on the oil tank. When I looked at the picture, it seemed our oil was an empty. Here I sat trying to make arrangements for a return trip North without flying. I contacted the Rehab immediately and explained the situation. I read the weather report from shoelady and decided to start checking what could be a harrowing drive if I didn’t. Because of the possibility of snow, freezing rain and sleet, I would probably stay at least a month or so before returning to Fl. .I also looked at taking a train with the car. It’s just an overnight, but would leave me with about 500 miles left which would be doable. Then I decided for whatever the reason, to check that email again It’s a good thing I did. I sent that email to our oil people and received an email back stating our tank is full. This blow has left me with an awful headache. Guess I will not see hubs today, but will explain everything tomorrow. Those gifs are coming in handy this time of year.

Take care of that sore arm. No heavy lifting. Have hubs bring home something for dinner. Take it easy. Nice time for you to rest and put your feet up with Poppy beside you. Now you can really celebrate the upcoming holidays.

@taci,

Good morning and Season’s Greetings to you and your family. 🎈😎

Enjoy the Season. 💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈Enjoy your visit with your mom. Please let her know I am
sending Season Greetings to her and your sister too. 🎈💕

I did go for my last appt. this morning I had a couple of vaccines so glad all of this
is over. 💕🎈😎

Enjoy your time with your family. 😎

Sending Holiday Vibes to you and Jake. 😎😘

@sheba2011

Got up this morning and all the snow was finally melted and gone. Right now it is cold, windy and everything is again covered in white.❄️ Summer was short-lived. Ran out for a haircut and staying comfy inside the rest of the day.

Glad all your end of the year appointments are finished. Sit back, relax and baby that sore arm.💪 Sending holiday hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖🎅

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten and Happy Holidays. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

Your gifs are sooooo magical. Something to enjoy on a daily or more basis. I do not
know how you do it. But you make my day feel peaceful. Thank you. Also enjoying
the dancers with their many colorful dresses. It’s like being in the theater or at Jacob’s
Pillow. Lovely to sit here and be mesmerized.

@oodiebom,

I did not know you were here on the Thread until after I posted the image again.
Just a way to feel good during the season. Something magical is this insane world.

Thank you I am so glad you enjoy them. 😎💕🎈

Oodie I am from the Theater I have worked with the likes of Leonard Bernstein, Ethel Merman, Ella Fitzgerald and many more.
I hope I always keep that bit of Pixie Dust on me I had a ball I was younger than Spring. 💕😎
